Manchester United have reportedly decided not to trigger the one-year extension in Casemiro’s contract, with the Brazilian midfielder being one of the three players at the club earning over £300,000 per week. The decision comes as United look to manage their wage structure while reshaping their squad for the upcoming season.

Casemiro has been a key figure in United’s midfield since his arrival in 2022, offering experience, and composure. However, with the club targeting younger and players with less salary , it appears they are ready to let the 31-year-old move on when his contract expires.

United are already looking at potential replacements to strengthen their midfield. Names like Adam Wharton, Elliot Anderson, and Carlos Baleba have been linked with the club, signaling a plan to bring in fresh talent capable of contributing immediately while also offering long-term potential.

For Casemiro, leaving Manchester United could open up opportunities elsewhere, with his experience and quality likely to attract interest from Saudi Pro League and MLS clubs.
